Resulting from the merger of two historic
churches, the Congregational and the Methodist-
Episcopal, the Hudson Community Church was
registered with the State of New Hampshire in
April 1930. Prior to this date meetings were held
by each of the two churches in order to discuss
and approve the plan to merge as set forth by
a joint committee. The newly formed Hudson
Community Church selected the church building
of the Methodist-Episcopal (aka the brick church)
on Central Street and the parsonage house of
the Congregational Church located at 31 Library
St. The Congregational Building (aka the white
church) was sold to the Hudson Grange; the
Methodist-Episcopal parsonage on Baker Street
was sold to members of the Baker family. The
Community Church continued to use the organ
from the Methodist-Episcopal Church, which had
been recently installed and dedicated in 1924.
Later, in 1950, a new Skinner 2-manual organ
was installed and dedicated. At the same time,
renovations were made to the sanctuary and the
chancel in order to accommodate the organ. This
occurred during the pastorate of Rev Arnold Tozer.
In 1937, under the Pastorate of Rev. Stanley
Anderson, the Community Church organized and

looked forward to an opportunity to have a parish
house where these plays could be presented in-
house. Such an opportunity started to become
reality in December 1953 when the church voted
to start a financial campaign to raise $60,000 for
a new parish house. A building committee under
the chairmanship of Grant Jasper was established.
By April of the following year the goal was met
and the construction phase for the parish house
began. Plans called for a chapel, assembly room
with a stage, seven classrooms and a kitchen. By
December 1955 work was completed, and the
new parish house, as shown in this weeks photo,
was dedicated. The project was begun under the
pastorate of Rev. Norman Jimerson and completed
under Rev. Lawrence Vincent. Later, in May
1961, the chapel was dedicated to the memory of
longtime organist Marion Joy.
The exterior of the church building remained

hosted the 200th anniversary of the formation
of the first church in Hudson. This was a joint
celebration between the Baptist Church and the
Community Church: Celebrating 200 years of
established religious services in town through the
Congregationalists, Baptists and Methodists. Dr.
Henry O. Smith presented an historical sketch
at this anniversary. A copy of this speech, in his
original handwriting, is on file at the historical

Hudson Players, the dramatic club of the
Hudson Community Church, was organized by a
group of church members interested in producing
and presenting stage plays. During the years to
come this group prepared and presented at least
eight different productions. The first was Ghost
Train. At one time this group had as many as 63
members. Initially an auditorium with a stage was
insured; the church and community met the
challenge of repairing this damage.
As of this writing, the new window(s) and
associated renovations to the parish hall
have been completed. The church, under the

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor
Is this a Reward for a Political Opponent?
It did not take long for the Sununu arrogance to surface when the new Governor nominated an in your face
candidate Frank Edulblut as the new Commissioner of Education. Mr. Edulblut is a businessman and politician with
zero experience in the field of education. The Governor already has a citizen advisory watchdog in the person of the
Chairperson of the State Board of Education and indeed the entire State Board of Education all appointed by the
Governor. The system is designed to have a citizen advisory body with little or no background in education but the
ability and willingness to reflect the concerns and perspectives of the general public and a professional sta headed by
the Commissioner of Education.
Mr. Edulblut has home educated his own children shielding him from even the exposure that most of us experience
as the parents of public or private school children. He has also advocated spending tax payer dollars on private and/
or non-public schools when communities in this state are having an increasingly dicult time raising adequate funds
for the public schools. A good example is lack of building aid since 2007 though it is estimated that more than 50
schools are in need of replacement or updating.
This has all the appearances of a reward for a political opponent than a sincere eort to place an experienced
educator with superior credentials to lead the Department of Education and indeed the entire educational
community to meet the demands of the 21st century.
Peter G. Dolloff, Hudson
Offering Clarification Regarding the Barbara Kahn Award
I am pleased that the Hudson~Litchfield News (Area News Group) so prominently featured a story celebrating
Alvirne High School students, Zachary Redding and Kylie Hancock, honorees of this years Barbara B. Kahn Award
for Excellence in Writing.
I would, however, like to correct an error in the reporting that might have been avoided if the reporter had
contacted me before publishing the article: Yes, I am a 1970 Alvirne High School alumnus who, seven years ago,
initiated an award both to thank my alma mater and to honor my English teacher, Mrs. Barbara Kahn.
But it must be noted that since the beginning of the BBK Award Program, I have collaborated with and relied on
Paul Bellerive, Alvirne Class of 1967. Paul is the award-winning poet/novelist/professor, who has been instrumental
in promoting fine writing at Alvirne while memorializing Barbara Kahn in the process. He has even put his
own money where his mouth is and co-sponsored the award in previous years. To omit Paul Bellerive from your
aforementioned article is an error of negligence.
It is also important to note that, without the vision of Principal Steven Beals, support of Sara Conrads entire
English Department and Kelly Fontaines administration, this whole program might have faded away as just another
idea unrealized. Instead, it has grown to include Writing Workshops in October to support the BBK Award in May,
Barbara Kahns own son, PBS/NPR documentarian Tony Kahn, has taught at Alvirne through this program.
This year, we were also honored to be joined by Alvirne alumna, Dr. Debra Riley Parr, Professor Columbia College
Chicago, who, with Paul and me, reviewed intensely the final submissions, and with us select Mr. Redding as this
years winner and Ms. Hancock our honorable mention.
I would appreciate that this letter be published or some correction be noted in the paper. Thank you for your help
in this matter.

The Fox did not get to play in the snow Wednesday morning, but must, once again, gives two paws up
to the Hudson Highway Department, being out early at 4:30 a.m., the town roads were already plowed
and sanded. But River Road had not been touched by NHDOT, and it was touch and go all the way to
the Sagamore Bridge intersection where roadway plowing responsibilities switched from the NHDOT
(Never Having Done On Time credit to former Selectman Rick Maddox) to the good guys.
Back to Hudson government. Deliberative session is on Saturday, starting at 9 a.m. on the basketball
court at the Community Center. Registered voters can ask questions, make comments and offer
amendments to the warrant articles which have made it to the ballot. The articles have followed several
months of review first, a department head request, a selectman review and a stamp of some nature
(approval might be the correct word) than again passed to the ballot might apply.
There has not been much conversation that the Fox knows about, except for an amendment of some
nature by Budget Committee member Ted Trost regarding Article 16, a request to create a Capital Reserve
Fund for library improvements.
Another call was received about
amending the police budget to
include extra funds to pay for
body cameras; a WMUR story
focused on a bill in Concord to
require any police officer who
faced a complaint to wear a
body camera. The Fox thinks
that is a lot of hyperbole and
most likely wont be brought up
in deliberative session.
The SAU ballot will be
reviewed next Saturday, Feb. 22,
just a public information note.
The Fox was fed some
bad information and made a
misstatement in last weeks
report. Selectman Angela
Routsis called the Fox to state
that she doesnt have a mystery
candidate for selectman that she
is supporting. The Fox regrets this misinformation and will bare some teeth at the source of last weeks
report. Sign up continues until this Friday in the Town Clerks office. Watch for next weeks issue on
the 10th to see who is running. This could get very interesting and shape the town selectmens board as
much as the U.S. Supreme Court appointment announced last night. Well, the big difference is that the
court appointment is forever, while a selectman might seem like it is forever but actually only lasts three
years.
There are two open terms on the Hudson School Board, and the Fox will bring you those who want

Making a Rescue on Thin Ice is What They Do

Photos by David s. Morin

Firefighters Justin Tracy and Ben Crane rescue Firefighter Alex Green from the icy Robinson Pond. Firefighters find very poor ice conditions that extend out some 20 feet from shore.

by David S. Morin
Hudson firefighters spent the afternoon of Jan. 26 in the frigid
waters of Robinson Pond practicing ice rescue technics. The training
was led by Captain Steve Gannon who said the training was a
multi-purpose drill. The department is working on a new operating
procedure for ice rescue incidents and recently purchased new ropes
for this type of rescue; the crew was training with the new system.
One of the departments newest firefighters, Alex Green, got to
experience firsthand what it takes to perform an ice rescue. He has
worn the ice rescue suits in the past but has never actually jumped
into the 30-degree water.
He said he was feeling a little apprehensive about his plunge into
the water. Not wearing the suits in a live water evolution before he
did not know what to except when he hit the water. Tied to safety
ropes and with a partner, he jumped from the ice shelf into the
water. Within seconds, the suit made his body buoyant relieving the
nervousness he felt.
The firefighters found the Robinson Pond ice broke under their
weight for a distance of 20 feet from the shore. Only reaching a
thickness of six inches some 200 feet off shore. Ice should never be
considered safe no matter the weather, temperature and time of year
or ice thickness. Continued freeze thaw cycles weakens the ice.
Currents, springs and other obstacles also affect the ice strength.
As a rule of thumb ice under four inches is not safe to walk on.
Four inches is considered safe for ice fishing; 5 inches of ice is
considered safe for snowmobiles and ATVs; 8 to 12 inches for a car
or small truck; and 12 to 15 inches for a medium-size truck.
Pets are another concern. Hudson firefighters regularly make a
rescue of a family pet that that has ventured onto the ice and fallen
through. Pets are considered family members and so people will
venture out onto thin ice to rescue a pet. If a pet has fallen through
thin ice, a person surely will also. Place a call to the fire department
for assistance instead. They are trained in such rescues and have the
proper equipment to safely venture out onto the ice to save pets.
Each firefighter completed training on equipment use, ice safety,
victim rescue and self-rescue techniques. Firefighters complete this
training every year to ensure their skills remain at their best so they
are ready if the need arises to rescue someone.

Raising $ and Awareness for SCAD
by Sue Krzeminski
Jill Pearl had just run the Greater Nashua
Sprint Triathlon. A few days later, the 38-year-old
Litchfield resident suffered a heart attack.
That was two years ago. Today, her husband,
Jeff, using his textile recycling expertise, has
turned to local businesses for help raising money
toward medical research for SCAD --the cause of
Jills heart attack.
Beyond living with the constant fear of losing
my wife and raising two young girls on my own,
the medical restrictions are a constant reminder of
just how real this is survivors really need more
answers, said Jeff Pearl, an owner of a Hudson-
based textile recycling company called EBCO.
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection
has only come to light in the last few years.
According to a recent article in WebMD, SCAD
accounts for 40 percent of heart attacks in women
under 50. Nearly 90 percent of SCAD patients
are female. SCAD, brought
about by a tear in an artery

factors.
As for Jill, she was almost sent home
from the emergency room because she
had a normal EKG. Initially, the doctors
attributed her flu-like symptoms and
chest pain to anxiety and heartburn.
Fortunately, the cardiologist on call
was somewhat familiar with this type
of uncommon heart event and ran the
necessary tests to diagnose and treat her

Why I Want to Go on a Reality TV Show
Im not writing about current events and politics
this week because I dont feel like it. This week
is about why I want to go on a good old trashy
reality TV show. My response is going to be a
classic millennial answer. Its because I cant deal
with reality. Of course, many people cant deal
with reality right now, so maybe its not so much a
generational trait as it is a situational issue.
My parents suggest that that I go on Survivor.
Um, no thank you. I need toilet
paper and I dont eat fish. I
also really enjoy showering.
Id rather go on one of those
reality shows where youre in a
house with a bunch of attractive
emotionally unstable people
who have daily liquor-fueled
fights. Sounds way more fun
to me than sneaking off in the
middle of the night in the snake-
and bug-infested woods to go to the bathroom.
Im thinking more towards Are You the One? on
none other than MTV.
Granted I do not expect to find my true love
Four Levels of Care
on one of these shows. I do expect to find some
money. Not a lot of money, but maybe enough to
pay off my student debt, freeing me of my burden
and allowing me to do what I want to do with my
life. In the meantime there are attractive boys that

some larger New Hampshire employers to step up and host

Jeff through www.facebook.com/sneakersforscad
The Pearl family will never be the same since that day
two years ago. For the rest of her life, Jill must refrain from
lifting over 25 pounds, keep her heart rate below 160 BPM,
and avoid swimming in cold water and exercising outside
when its colder than 20 degrees. All of these are doctors
mandates.
Doctors are still very vague on an other advice to
prevent another SCAD event and we still have to idea why it
happened, Jeff said. Please take a moment to find that old
pair of sneakers kicking around your closet and donate them
to a cause that is near and dear to my familys heart.

amazing because, for the however many weeks I
would be on the show, I dont have to worry about
anything outside the show. I can watch everybody
make a fool of themselves and care way too
much about things that dont really matter. How
nice it would be if my biggest concern is if a hot
emotionally unstable guy likes me? What I would
give for that to be my biggest problem in life.
I dont understand how people can freak out
over a heartbreak over a mini
fling that lasted one day to a
week. Those two people didnt
really like each other; they just
liked how each other looked.
Watch as I say this, if I ever were
All About to go onto one of these shows,
ME Id be the first one to act like one
of those drunken idiots who falls
madly in love (cough, cough,
lust) with the first guy I talk to.
The only thing that would bother me is knowing
that my grandparents would totally watch the
show when it airs on TV. That would just be in my
head the entire time, and I would mess up and do
something dumb and totally regret it and not even
think about it until when my grandparents bring it
up over dinner one day. I really dont think this is
in a lot of reality TV show peoples head because
the shows would be a lot more boring. I also
dont think that future prominent jobs are in these
peoples minds.
In high school they warned you about the
dangers of what you post on social media and
how it could affect your employment, Im not sure
if my generation understood that once you go on
a reality TV show that its also
out their forever. Just saying.
Im not sure what other
peoples motives are for going
on (excluding Survivor) maybe
they actually expect to find
love, maybe they are just on
it for money, maybe its for 15
minutes of fame. Lets face it the
vast majority of reality TV game
603-553-9040 show contestants dont become
I mean, lets face it, Im not
the nice, sweet and innocent
type, and I dont have to be.
This isnt the early 1800s. My
sole purpose isnt to marry
and have children. Most of
the time Ill sit back and watch
the show, but when Im bored
or in a certain mood. I will
get confrontational and I will
cause a scene. I mean I am an
American millennial, but at least
I admit it and accept it.
The other plus side is that I
will gain a ton of social media
attention, which would be
so great for advertising for
my unpublished book that is
actually kind of about being on
a reality TV show in a very dark
and twisted way.

Driving and Texting may Result

in a Ticket this February
It can be a recipe for disaster. Cell phone use while driving is
dangerous, not to mention illegal in New Hampshire. Unfortunately, it
still goes on, and accidents are often the result.
During the month of February, Hudsons second-shift police officers
(3 p.m. to 11 p.m.) will be proactively enforcing the state statute that
prohibits cell phone use while driving a motor vehicle. Many drivers
still choose to use their phones despite enactment of the law, which
went into effect last year. According to the Hudson Police, a lot of
collisions occur due to driver distraction, and many of these are caused
by the use of hand-held mobile devices. The Hudson Police Department
encourages the motorists of Hudson to abide by this law as well as other
rules of the road.

Hudson Police Taking The Dip

LAWS & DEMERS PLLC in Lake Winnipesaukee
submitted by Hudson Police Department
Hudson police officers will be participating in
a unique fundraiser for Special Olympics New
Hampshire. During the months of February
and March, residents will see bearded officers
patrolling their town. Officers will be making
a donation to Special Olympics for this rare
opportunity to grow facial hair.
The fundraiser, Donate to Insulate, will
precede the Special Olympics Winni Dip and
hopefully the beards will help the officers keep
extra warm while jumping into the cold waters of
Lake Winnipesaukee on March 11.
Hudson Police will have a team of officers
participating in the Winni Dip. Anyone
interested in making a donation to Hudson Police
on behalf of Special Olympics New Hampshire
for the Winni Dip can stop by the station at 1
Constitution Dr., Hudson, or they can make a
donation through the website: https://www.
firstgiving.com/team/342123.
You can take the dip with Hudson Police. To
